In captivity.

Bonita's POV

I wake up inside of a cell. I know that my mate put me there. I know he wants to impress Camilla, my sister. I do not understand why he even chose me as a mate. I am hurting. My wounds are not healing because I am tied up in silver cuffs. The silver knife is also still stuck in my shoulder. Although my body is going through a lot of pain, it is my heart that paints the most because I have been betrayed by the one person I trusted with my life. I should have known that life was not supposed to be this good for me. I swear the Moon Goddess has cursed me. Why would you put me in this position? Why would she lead my mate to betray me? And why would she give me a magical wolf? I love Shadow, and I will not choose another wolf. We have to get out of here. But how am I locked in a cell with silver bars? Even if I can get out of these cuffs and remove the silver knife from my shoulder, I will not be able to escape this cell without help. 

"Luna, are you awake?" I hear Morris whisper. 

"Yes. What happened, and how did I end up in this cell?" I ask. 

"It is a long story. We cannot discuss it right now. I need to get you out of here, and you need to strike me and make it look like you overpowered me with your magic. They have injected you with silver, so you won't be able to heal yourself soon. We have to hurry up before your ex-mate and his girlfriend show up here," Morris says. 

"Where are they now?" I ask. 

"I do not know. I think they are in the room, busy making love. But that has nothing to do with you right now. We have to get you out of here because they are planning to kill you tonight. The back and this stupid offer have no idea what they are missing out on. You can be the strongest Luna there will ever be. It is such a shame that your mate did not see it. He will regret what he has done to you, as he is your mate and not your sister. He is only doing all this because he thinks everybody would rather accept Camilla as the Luna than you," Morris says as he unlocks the cell. Morris takes the silver cuffs of me. I pull out the knife from my shoulder. I am weak and so are Shadow. 

"Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry I have to do this to you, but it have to look like it is legit. I do not want Oscar to kill you. I know he hates me more than anything in this world. If he did not hate me, why is he doing this to me? You know what hurts the most? It is his betayal," I say. I push the knife into Morris' arm. He falls to the ground in pain. I feel bad doing it to him, but I know there is no other way.

"Run Luna, don't worry about me. I will be fine. Use the magic of your wolf to conceal your scent," Morris says. I will have to depent on my wolf and her magical powers. Although she's not at full strength, she can still help me. I know I cannot run very fast, and I cannot shift right now as the silver inside of me is making it impossible. Shadow uses her magic to conceal our scent as we run past the guards who are standing with their backs to us. We use our magic to keep them from seeing and smelling us. I will be relieved when we are gone from here, but I am moving slowly as the pain inside of me is killing me. If I can just make the border, I don't care which border and I can break my bond with this pack. I will be happy. I move through the woods, hoping that my magic is strong enough to keep my mate and he's new whore away from me. 

I hear the back howling and I know I have to run faster. I cannot pass out now. I can feel how the blackness is folding around to me. My head is starting to spin, but I cannot stop now. I have to go, or else they will find me. I do not know in which direction to run, because I do not know in which direction packs are. If I land in the wrong backs territory, I can't be torn to shreds. I can only pray to the Moon Goddess to help me find the right place. Although I don't think that she ever listens to my prayers. I think she hates me. Why else am I different and why would she let my mate cheat on me? 

I know Oscar is too afraid to go into anybody elses territory, so I need to just reach the border. I hope I reached the right border and that I can get help from anybody else. I will have to go deep into the other territory so that Oscar cannot grab me and run back to his territory. At last I feel myself going over a border. I stopped for a moment.

"I, Bonita Clarkson, break my bond as the Luna and memember of the Black Raven Pack with the pack and his Alpha. I accept your rejection Oscar Smith," I say. I want to make sure that there is no more bonds between us. I want to make sure that my bond with Oscar is broken for good. I do not want to feel the pain that he have put me through again. I run deep into the territory of whoever's grounds I have engtered. I do not care whose crowns this is. I will rather die at their hands than at the hands of my ex-mate and my whore sister! I reach an opening and I fall on my knees. I start crying and I know the tears are mixing with the blood on my face, as I have been running, I have been rubbing my face. I don't know how long I have been sitting there. I feel him before I see him. I can't smell him. He smells of cedar wood and forest after the rain. 

"Mate!" Shadow shouts in my head.
